Patient's question:
The child was cross-infected with pneumonia in kindergarten and, on top of that, had a slight accumulation of food in the stomach. After three consecutive days of fever, there was light coughing all night. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as bronchopneumonia.Hello doctor, does the pediatric pneumonia department give intravenous fluids? The child is too young, and I’m afraid that intravenous fluids may cause blood vessel hardening.
Doctor's answer:
Children with pneumonia can be treated with intravenous fluids. Antiphlogistic drugs are administered to the child through the veins to treat pneumonia. Generally, this does not cause venous atherosclerosis in children. The recurrence of pneumonia symptoms in children is mainly due to delayed treatment for colds, which leads to the spread of inflammation upwards and causes pneumonia. The treatment for pneumonia is primarily based on anti-inflammatory therapy. If the child has severe coughing, local treatment can be actively combined with atomized inhalation therapy.
